Suitability Assessment of Groundwater for Irrigation and Drinking Purpose in the Northern region off Jordan

In the study, groundwater samples were collected from fifty wells in the northern region of Jordan. These samples have been assessed on the basis of various qualitative parameters. The considered water quality parameters are; pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved salts, calcium and magnesium, sodium, potassium, carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulphate, fluoride, sodium adsorption ratio, residual sodium carbonate and soluble sodium percentage. Regarding cation and anion constitutes, groundwater is suitable for irrigation and drinking purposes except of few wells. Electrical conductivity, pH, calcium, magnesium, sodium bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, nitrate and phosphate concentrations are below the usual limit for irrigation water. In addition, the calculated values indicate a good to permissible use of ground water for irrigation.

Australia’s Water Crisis
Irrigation management is serious business in Australia especially within the Murray-Darling Basin, a 1,000,000 square kilometer watershed that is home to Australia’s most productive agricultural land. The basin’s 23 rivers have some of the lowest and most variable flows in theworld. A massive system of dams, lakes and canals stores water from mountain snowmelt and seasonal rains and distributes it to farms and communities throughout the growing season.

The Netherlands receives on average 800 mm of rain each year. This, you may feel is the reason why you relatively never see BBA irrigation pumps out in the field. But it is more likely due to the fact that the B series of irrigation pumps rarely sits idle. Due to their convenient mounting on a wheelbarrow frame they can be easily returned back to the barn as soon as the job is done.
This B60-220self-priming irrigiation pump is therefore almost invisible through daily life.
But the owner of this pump and the...
